[Chorus]
I can't stop partying, partying
I can't stop partying, partying
I gotta have Patron, I gotta have the beat
I gotta have a lot of pretty girls around me
Oh, I can't stop partying, partying
I can't stop, partying, partying
I gotta have the cars, I gotta have the jewels
And if you was me, honey, you would do it too

Monday to Sunday I hit all the clubs
And now ev'rybody know me when I pull up
I got the real big posse with me, yeah I'm deep
And if you lookin' for me I'm in V-I-P

Just follow the smoke, they're bringing bottles of the goose
And all the girls in the corner getting loose
Screw rehab I love my addiction
No sleep, no sleep I am always on a mission 'cause

[Chorus]

Party like tomorrow is my funeral
Gotta stop mixing alcohol with pharmaceuticals
And the unusual is the fucking usual
Man, my life is beautiful and my girls are mutual
Okay bitches, Weezer and it's Weezy
Upside down M-T-V
Please don't shoot me down because
I'm an endangered species
It's the days of our lives but my night just started
I pray the killer doesn't take the life of the party

General CommentWhen I first heard this song, it was on the Not Alone album. I thought it WAS some kind of joke. But hearing the album version, it sounds like Weezer/Rivers is actually serious. They're trying to have a club hit.

This is such a vast departure from The Red Album. There, it was like Weezer (and Rivers in particular) had finally stopped giving a damn what people thought and just did their own thing, and it made for a fantastic album. Raditude is more in line with The Green Album; it is targeted directly at the mainstream. This song is Exhibit A.

Weezer with a club hit. I could have never even imagined that possibility before.

Come on, folks. Like lots of more recent Weezer songs, this one is a bit tongue-in-cheek and an "old man's" criticism of all the young celebrities who "can't stop partying." And their excuse that they can't help it because it's something you've got to do with your life if you have the money and the fame.

Also, Rivers made a comment in a Pitchfork interview about Lil Weezy's rap interlude, how he loved the imagery of Lil Wayne knowing of his impending murder (and in spite of this and because of this Weezy's partying ("like tomorrow is my funeral")--and hoping that the killer doesn't kill him at the party ("I pray the killer doesn't kill the life of the party").

So while Weezer wrote the song like a pop-hit, it still has their ironic sensibility. I mean, watch the AOL sessions and you can see Rivers in his ironic glory, rocking with all sincerity, surrounded by ridiculousness. (See his costume changes, his invitation of Kenny G, etc.)

General CommentI'm not a huge Weezer fan or anything but I've always felt like Rivers' lyrics had an extremely strong back bone of irony to them, so this type of a song seems right in line with a type of song like "Troublemaker", where it's more of an ironic character or it's a bit exaggerated. That's just his extremely ironic style. That being said, I also don't get the impression that he's being SATIRICAL or mocking hip hop or anything like that, it's just so clear that these lyrics aren't really him that there has to be some sort of playful tongue-in-cheek essence about them

General CommentMan I really hope you guys are right about this song being ironic because if Rivers is serious this song is complete shit. It's everything I hate about pop music and to think that one of my favorite bands has sunken this low is extremely disheartening.

At first I thought this is a joke for sure, but then again Lil Wayne is in it so I don't know what to think.

I feel like even if it is ironic Rivers knows there will be a ton of people who take it seriously (much like what happened with the Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right (to Party)") so either way I've lost a ton of respect for him.

My OpinionI really do hope this is satire as well. Weezer has been my favorite band since I was five years old. And as their music progresses through the years, I've noticed that they seem to shift shape with the times. The early 90's grunge, late 90's/2000's pop rock, and now this generation's club/hip-hop/rap scene.

I miss the way their music was around the Pinkerton era. That's just me.

General CommentI feel like this song is quite tragic. It's about people who think they are having the time of their lives and don't realize that they are actually hurting themselves. Once they realize this, it is too late. It makes me think of rappers who party all the time and disregard everyone who tries to help them. At least I really hope that is what this is about.

General CommentYou people need to have more faith in weezer. It's not glorifying the party lifestyle; it's a call for help from someone who can't stop partying. It's supposed to be sad. The music is a parody of modern party songs.
